The Billionaire’s Pretty Thief

“You don’t have to be here anymore Simon, I think you have helped me a lot I can continue from here so go back to work now,” Georgia muttered having a deep frown on her face that made Simon very picky with his words so as not to serve her more.

“I need to be here because Crystal is my friend and I care about you a lot to leave you here alone with the kind of people that I see around the place,” Simon muttered. His words had somehow calmed down Georgia’s anger as she lifted her head to look at Simon with a feeling that was not clear to her.

Her lips trembled not being able to let out the words that wanted to make their way out and with a shiny yes, she gazed at him pressing the grip of her hands on her dress. Simon’s words had confused her once again and she felt awkward to ask what his intentions towards her were as she was not ready to listen to anything negative from him.

Noticing how calm Georgia had become, Simon held onto her asking whether she was alright, but she turned her stare at his hands that were on her shoulders as she felt his grip tighter, and without any sound, she nodded her head in acceptance.

Simon had nothing to worry about because as the CEO of his company, he had inherited from his dad. Being the boss, he could attend to other matters without anyone interfering in his business. Taking his hand from her shoulder, he caressed her face taking away the hairs that were on her eyes.

The little moment that Simon had spent with Georgia, made him start seeing her differently, and not being able to explain what was going on with him, he felt that impulse to protect her from everything that could be a danger to her life.

Blaze was keen to listen to Crystal explain everything that had happened to her over the years and not say anything bad about her uncle as she related her story, making Blaze see the kind of woman that he was in love with. Her anger and disappointment in her uncle’s attitude did not make her forget the fact that he had once been her backbone and support when she had no one to call family. His actions did not make her feel lonely and he had always treated her well while she was growing up.

Max was a good uncle as he stood his ground to take her in when she was almost been sent to a foster home. He did not know how to take care of a child and he had never had one but his determination to keep Crustal as well as to take care of her was something that many thought he couldn’t do.

Max had a very busy schedule and hence he had never had any wife and kids, and the few times that he was chanced to be with his niece, he did everything for her to be comfortable as he took her to all the places that she loved as well as buying her the things he wanted.

On the days when he was not changed, he would call on Mrs. Yvonne to ask whether she

When it came to attending her school activities, he always made an effort to attend her school programs whenever parents were needed and the most important thing was that, he did not want anything to hurt his little niece.

“So what happened now, what has changed?” Freddy asked noting down the points so as not to forget. His question made Crystal’s eyes turn to water and Blaze glimpsing at her silence, looked at his friend before going closer to hold Crystal’s hand.

“If it is too painful you do not need to do it now babe,” his words came out softly and she felt loved. Crystal’s heart had found peace in Blaze’s words and each time he spoke to her, everything became easy for her. Keeping her eyes on his, she let out the tears that were on her falls and tightening her grip on his skin, she muttered,

“I think it is time for me to do this Blaze, remember why we came here to do and it will be a waste of time if we don’t accomplish it.” Her courage was out of normal and Blaze was glad to see her ready to face her fears.

Taking a deep breath and keeping her hands bonded to Blazes, Crystal’s focus was turned to Freddy as she began to narrate why and how things had changed. Thinking back to the time that she had noticed that her uncle’s attitude had changed, it was during her tightened birthday.

In Mr. Taylors” last will, he had stated that his legacy was going to be passed on to his only daughter Crystal Melody Taylor the moment she came to age and of sound reasoning but since she was still a minor when her parents met their sudden death, her uncle was left to manage everything while she turned eighteen.

Crystal had never disobeyed her uncle and everything she did was for him to be proud of her keeping in mind the promise she made on her parent’s grave on the day that they were both laid to rest. She worked hard in school and during holidays as she as found always wanted to read the kind of books that her father loved to read because she knew her goal.

Unknown to her that her uncle had different notices for her, Crystal continued to do her best to learn everything that could help her while she matched the videos that she always did with her dad when he was still alive. Her determination was not like that of any young girl of her age and though she had everything that she could ever wish for, Crystal knew how to keep her calm when faced with provocative situations as well as keeping herself humble.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Her eyes were filled with more tears when she recounted her first meeting with her uncle about her inheritance. Max had given her deaf wars and had asked her to focus more on her studies till she finally turned eighteen but it was not clear to her as she had noticed that he did not want to share anything that had to do with her heritage.

Crystal had no extra training from Max and the documents were far from her sight when she tried asking her uncle to teach her about the ways of the company, he always had something to say or he would start narrating to her all the problems that the company was facing.

Feeling sad as she felt that she was mounting too much pressure on him, Crystal remembered that her dad always showed her where he kept his private kinds of stuff and her memory flashed back to the fact that her father’s lawyer was no longer coming to the house to check up on her like he uses to do. Crustal began to join some mysteries that were not clear to her but as usual, she could not think more than she was doing.

Having the feeling to dig more, she approached her friend’s mom who was like a second mother to her, and asked about pieces of information that could help her achieve her goal of proving to her uncle that she was capable of taking over her father business, but Mrs. Yvonne never had the time to discuss such mattered with Crystal not even when she passes the night over with Georgia.

Freddy having given attention to her story for some time, told her to pause for a while as he had some things to ask first.

He was one of the best in the field and it was thanks to his mastery in the domain that Blaze had won a lot of cases, especially the one that involved the foreign investors that had business dealings with his late father. Blaze had full confidence in Freddy as he was not like the other sell-outs the law had in the name of Lawyers.
